[Framers] Learning Structure and Prefix (and more)

[Rick Quatro]

Hi C2,

Can you use an autonumber instead of a prefix?

Howdy Framers,

I'm still trying to get heading paragraphs inserted by my EDD when opening
xml content. I guess I must ask if this is even possible with the xml
example below? For example, the XML description elements need to have a
heading run-in para with the heading text inserted.

<spa>
<spa_model>Model 1</spa_model>
<desc1>Spa description1</desc1>
<desc2>Spa description2</desc2>
<desc3>Spa description3</desc3>
</spa>

Formatted should look like:

Model 1
Heading1: Spa description1
Heading2: Spa description2
Heading3: Spa description3


After reading: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/315301 , it seems to not be
possible (the engineers will be displeased), but then I got the idea to use
autoinsertions. I created a para element and that is referenced as a child
insert in each description element.

It does not work when opening the XML file, but it works fine if I manually
add the elements and content from Frame. I did not test that on all the
other approaches I tried since I am not able to edit the xml files, but at
least I got to see some things I tried may actually be correct.

I tried a myriad of different prefixs, such as in the spa element, defining
a prefix with the description elements as the context. The context rules
work for formatting, but I could not get the prefix to show. I tried it in
the para element, and as noted before in the description elements. I can get
the prefix and formatted the way I want, but the description content is
always part of the same paragraph, so it's just an in-line text insert.

As far as structure, if the above is not possible, Would it make sense to
just tell the engineers to wrap the description text in another para
element? With that, I get the prefixes the way I want by adding them to the
description elements.

Thanks
C2
